Biden announces Supreme Court reforms

In an audacious but long-term attempt to mark his final six months in office, US President Joe Biden revealed plans on Monday for urgent reforms to the conservative-dominated Supreme Court.

The 81-year-old Democrat is advocating for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s recent decision that upheld Donald Trump’s claims of presidential immunity. He will reveal his ideas in a speech in Austin, Texas.

In addition, he wants to restrict the number of terms that Supreme Court judges can serve. Currently, they are appointed for life. This is because of landmark rulings like the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which protected the right to an abortion for many years across the nation.

In the wake of several scandals, Joe Biden is also advocating for the establishment of an obligatory code of ethics.

“The fundamental idea upon which this country was built is that nobody is above the law. Not America’s president. not an American justice on the Supreme Court. Nobody,” the US president stated in a Monday opinion piece.

“The current situation is abnormal and erodes public trust in the Court’s rulings, particularly those pertaining to individual liberties. We are currently in a breach,” he stated.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, who is expected to be the Democratic nominee for president in November, “look forward to working with Congress on these projects,” according to the White House. However, they stand little chance of passing a Congress that is sharply divided under Biden’s leadership.

However, they are a reflection of Mr. Biden’s mounting annoyance at a court full of judges that Mr. Trump chose, as well as the public’s declining faith in the institution, according to polls.

“Raise awareness”

In the past, Mr. Biden has opposed efforts to reorganize or change the court, which has nine lifetime appointment justices. However, according to the White House, Biden would now try to set a term restriction of eighteen years for Supreme Court justices, with new justices being chosen every two years.

A fact sheet states that doing this would “reduce the risk that a single presidency would impose undue influence on future generations.”

The court partially ruled in favor of Republican candidate Trump’s immunity claims in early July, but this year it has dramatically limited the authority of federal agencies.

The latter is contesting, among other things, his recent criminal sentence in connection with the payment of covert funds to a porn star through this decision.

In addition, Joe Biden is pushing for the creation of a “binding and enforceable” code of ethics for federal judges.

Six conservative justices make up the court’s nine members, and half of them were chosen by Donald Trump.

The ultraconservative members of the Supreme Court have been embroiled in ethics controversies that have shaken the court.

Justice Clarence Thomas just acknowledged that a millionaire Republican contributor paid for two opulent trips he took in 2019.

The 76-year-old justice of the Supreme Court has also disregarded requests for him to recuse himself from matters pertaining to the 2020 presidential contest, since his spouse supported efforts to maintain Mr. Trump’s position of authority in the wake of his loss.

Requirements for Justice Samuel Alito to step down from specific cases involving Donald Trump have been denied.

University of Illinois at Chicago law professor Steven Schwinn told AFP that although Biden had “close to zero” chance of passing the bill, he was probably attempting to “raise awareness” and “present the Supreme Court as an election issue.”
